What is the purpose of the lever on the side of this ball mount?

The pistol grip handle houses a release "trigger", the lighter colored piece in the picture. With the unit mounted to your tripod or whatever, and your camera mounted on top, you grasp the handle and squeeze the trigger to release all restriction on the head. You can then instantly aim the camera left/right/up/down/rotate, even tilt landscape to portrait just by moving your hand. When the trigger is released the unit is instantly locked into whatever position you choose. The unit also incorporates a single lever quick release camera mounting system.

There are three "levers," the light colored lever is the ball adjustment release; the very top lever is the quick release mount for the camera itself, and the last lever (below quick mount) unlocks and locks the pan rotation of the camera quick mount.

Just make sure you get the actual "Curt" locking pin set that is made for that ball mount. Not a generic locking pin like that other guy is saying

That triangle shaped bracket is part of the top. It should have a ball that one end of the shock mounts on

A helpful user posted a pictorial breakdown in the comments section regards this. It is an alternate mounting for the sensor head to enable it to be mounted at ground level. You will also find it mentioned in my recent review posted a few days ago.

It is a side mount and works beautifully. I was very satisfied with its functionality.

The one pictured is different than the model that I had purchased. The one that I had purchased mounts opposite directions. It is used for flashlights only. It works great on my handlebars and great for holding my smaller flashlights. There is plenty of room to do that. This one looks like it's more for mounting bicycle pumps on the frame. So I can't give you any experience in regards to this model for that purpose.

it comes from sightmark with it sliding to the r/side , it is very easy to make it slide to the l/side by just turning the mount around so the quick mount lever is on the opposite side . Next you loosen the 4 screws holding the lens to the mount and just swap it around ,very simple and easy to do

Yes it's a simple hand knob. The ball mount will still be mounted but you can easily remove the upper portion of the RAM mount.

There is a wire on the side opposite of the rotating shaft, if that makes any sense. Imagine trying to hang a gallon paint can by its handle, only smaller.

It is the yellow plastic nut that keeps the lever down when the unit is not in use. Obviously you need to remove it to be able to put one of the valve tips.

It bolts to the ball mount that fits in your receiver, in place of the ball.

Its a simple lever under the chair that lets the seat slide. It works very nicely and is fast to use.

I believe it is a lever. It is a really nice product. We have 2 and pull out and angle our tv's quite a bit. .

That knob on the bottom of the mount (in the pic) is turned to open these slats that go inside the player just a bit. They're what keeps it from falling out.

The response from Robert Kreider is correct. When connecting the base plate to the camera the back of the plate has the bottom section that is longer (like legs) and this back part will abut against the lever.

when you adjust the side to open up for the mounting plate, there are 2 springs that are on the side. They fall out often.

It has an outside lever. Just a side note - if your looking for comfort, this isn't it.
